My Apologies

My apologies to those who post comments on my blog, my dumb computer won't let me reply to comments. So either I will ignore your comments entirely, or respond with a post.
Nathan, I am indeed driving this roller coaster. It's different :) But maybe you're right, and I should get out of the driver's seat and let God take the reins. :)

Reving up and out of summer

Summer is just as hot as it ever was, but even in the middle of July things are starting to rev up for the school year. I have an appointment later today at Sinclair to sign up for classes and take a Spanish placement test. Teaching Choralleers at Co-op will take a lot of planning, because I'm working with a different age group and need a different approach from last year. I'm also thinking about scholarships, scrutinizing every college in Ohio on the web for full ride or any other scholarships that might apply to me. The writing and re-writing of scholarship essays will be considered as one of my classes this fall. In addition to all this planning and looking forward, I have only one or two more small things left before I'm done with senior year. Pursuing music this year will consist of joining adult choir at Emmanuel, continuing organ lessons, practicing piano at home, and starting voice lessons. Oh, and I'm looking for a job. 

The only thing left to do is spend time with my family, get in to the swing of things, and then immediately start worrying about next year. Seriously though, all this planning and figuring out my life can get me stressed out. That's why really, the biggest thing I have to do this year and next, is pray. It's hard to really admit that God knows better than I do in these little things like choosing courses at Sinclair, but in the end He really does. So I'll just be trying to trust Him and I hold onto my cap while driving this roller coaster. :)
